Description:Literary Tourism and the British Isles: History, Imagination, and the Politics of Place explores literary tourism's role in shaping how locations in the British and Irish Isles have been seen, historicized, and valued. Within its chapters, contributors approach these topics from vantage points such as feminism, cultural studies, geographic and mobilities paradigms, eco-literary tourism, ecosystems, philosophy of history, dark tourism, and marketing practice analyses. They examine guidebooks and travelogues; oral history, pseudo-history, and absent history; and literature that spans Renaissance drama to contemporary popular writers such as Dan Brown, Diana Gabaldon, and J.K. Rowling. Places discussed in the collection include "the West;" Wordsworth Country and Bront� Country; Stowe and Scotland; the Globe Theatre and its environs; Limehouse, Rosslyn Chapel, and the imaginary locations of the Harry Potter series. Taken as a whole, this collection illuminates some of the ways by which "the British Isles" have been created by literary and historical narratives, and, in turn, will continue to be seen as places of cultural importance by visitors, guidebooks, and site sponsors alike.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
